One continuous workflow
From source folder to verified handoff.
Three stages from the real product. Start with a representative project before indexing a full archive.
Focus 1.1701 — Index
Original media stays in the selected folder unless you explicitly choose a copy or move action.
Best fit
Made for footage-heavy editing work.
Focus is strongest when the job is to recover exact moments and turn them into editable selects under deadline, privacy, or archive pressure.
Workflow 1
Wedding and event videographers
Hundreds of gigabytes, multiple cameras, and client-critical speeches or reactions buried under deadline pressure.
Search vows, speeches, people, scenes, and reactions as moments.Local-first client footage, no upload queue, direct select/export handoff.
Workflow 2
YouTube, podcast, and freelance creator editors
Long interviews, podcasts, livestreams, and B-roll libraries become slow to mine for quotes, topics, and reusable clips.
Transcript-led search with visual context and quick selectable moments.Broader than transcript tools, faster than manual scrubbing, closer to the NLE.
Workflow 3
Documentary editors and private archive teams
Months or years of interviews and footage make rediscovery expensive, especially when the material is private.
Cross-library search across speech, faces, scenes, objects, and metadata.Private AI retrieval for local drives, not a generic DAM or cloud AI wrapper.
